From the desk at T Bar C … It feels like it was just yesterday since the start of their Angus Bull Sales, but it has been twenty years and working with the Duralta family operation through the decades has always been a pleasure. Welcome to the Duralta Farms 20th Anniversary Bull Sale held at the farm, Vegreville, Alberta on March 14th. We, at T Bar C, always look forward to this feature Angus event and have had the privilege to assist them over the past decades.
Duralta is a supplier of high-quality herd bulls both Red and Black Angus, suppling farmers and ranchers value-added sires for their many repeat customers. Their success does not come by chance but by building and developing an outstanding cow herd using the fundamentals of producing superior seedstock. During the past several years, the boys have taken advantage of embryo transplant to enhance and expand predictable cow families, the results of which you will find as you peruse this catalogue.
The offering is outstanding… both Black and Red whether you are looking for your next power bull or a couple of bulls for the heifer pasture, you will like what you see. Filled with eye appeal, these rugged prospects will fit all types of breeding operations and are suitable for all budgets. If you are looking for bulls full of performance, hair and bred-in muscle, Duralta is the place to be!
Stop by the farm anytime you are driving by and preview this powerful line up, or do not hesitate to give the boys a call to discuss their offering and your requirements… but the best is to come and celebrate twenty years… if you do not need a bull, well come for great lunch.
If we, at T Bar C may be of any assistance prior to or sale day, do not hesitate to call any of our team and we will be pleased to assist in a professional and confidential manner.
